I’m gonna miss Rob and Austin singing together.

This is such a great song by Don McLean! He originally did it in 1972. What a great remake with Home Free! Rob's voice is perfect for this song. Such a beautiful tribute to the sad life of the painter Vincent Van Gogh. He suffered from depression & committed suicide. He never saw any success during his life. But now his paintings are worth millions of dollars.

So beautiful, yet reminds me how much we are going to miss Austin.

I get goosebumps, chills and tears in my eyes every single time I hear this, avd I've listened to A LOT in the last week. Simply stunning. And Rob!! Just wow.

Rob can sing anything. He sounds SO amazing!

The video title is misleading, since this is actually from Don's new album. They sound terrific. Good showcase for Rob. They also backed him on the title track, American Bous.

#HOMEFREE.....stunningly beautiful.

Just WOW!!! It's hard to imagine this song could get any more hauntingly beautiful, but #HomeFree and Don McLean have just outdone themselves. I can't replay this enough. Great reaction Brad; I think Emily would love this one too.

What a great version and Don is STILL incredible ❤❤

Beautiful ❤

Just beautiful ... great collab ! #HOMEFREE

They did an absolutely amazing job backing Don up. I love how well Rob's voice sounds with Don's. And also hoe Austin, Rob and Don sound together. They have actually done one other song with Don on his album. I always enjoy watching your reaction to these guys.

This is gorgeous! It amazes me how Don's voice has not changed much in 50+ years. The harmonies are exceptionally beautiful. Love to see Adam Rupp singing in his beautiful tenor voice. Love your personal song. It is beautiful! Love your reaction! #HOMEFREE #DONMCLEAN

Perfection

❤🤠#HomeFree. ❤#DonMcLean.Beautiful collaboration. Great reaction ❤.

They also sang Backup for Don on his last album release of the song American Boys

Thank you for playing this song. Don McLean still have a great voice. Don and Home Free did a great job singing the song. I love Home Free.😊❤❤❤❤❤❤

This is truly phenomenal! What a voice Don McLean still has! Wow. And of course Austin also sang great, but Rob's voice is just perfect for this song. His voice so warm, soft as silk and full of emotion. The quiet background vocals and guitar playing complete it for me. It's the same song as my youth, but with the Home Free twist it's something different. A beautiful song where I, of course, as a Dutch person, know the history of Vincent van Gogh well. If I could, I would have given Don McLean and Home Free a bouquet of sunflowers in memory of Vincent. The sunflower one of his most famous paintings 🌻...... 💖 💖💖💖💖💖

That was beautiful Brad- and loved your lyrics. (Nights like these). Now, Don sounded great on this song along with HF. Rob was beautiful too. Beautiful video too. Loved it!😄🤩

Crying harder every time I hear this song. This is my 9th(10th)time. You'd think I'd run out of years right🤷🏻‍♀️

I was a junior in high school when this first came out (yes I’m old LOL) so I remember this song well. Dare I say I love this version with the harmonies better. Stunning job by Don and Home Free! Rob was perfect for this and Rob and Austin’s harmonizing was stunning! Just wow! #HomeFred

I love your new song, it's so pretty.

I've always loved this song and Home Free managed to make me love it even more. Bonus is, I get to hear Adam's sweet voice. Don still sounds wonderful. Thanks for the Home Free reactions

Two years! Been dreaming two years Home Free did this! Hubby of 52 years is painter named Vincent!

I want the final painting! ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Saddest song, and still relevant today. I had been hoping Home Free would cover it, but I did not image that Don would join them!

Actually, Don brought them in to do the 50 year anniversary addition of the song. The 3 part harmony between Don, Rob, and Austin is beautiful

This is such a great arrangement. It just flows like butter.

It was a stroke of genius to use just the guitar without additional percussion. I also like to watch the shifting paintings in the background. Great reaction!

Such a beautiful and sad song. So glad that McClean and Home Free got to collab again.

This is so beautiful but so sad. Love when they collabe.❤️❤️❤️❤️

I first heard this song in Junior High for an art class, back when they had those, and have loved it ever since.

Timeless. Many can relate to this (sadly). This is probably the saddest yet most beautiful songs I have heard in my lifetime so far. Mental health is so important. Don delivered it impeccably ... after all these years. Having Home Free behind him enhances, well, everything. They too are impeccable.

Thanks, Brad.. I usually avoid "covers" .. even though I know "Home Free" are a great harmony group.. I will always cherish Don's original version, but I think it's very cool that he recorded with this talented group, and sang most of the lead- yet gave up the higher notes to those who could do them better... appreciate that you reacted to this...

Thnx for your reaction!

Don has a new album coming out, and HF is harmony oh the title track, which is out as a single. "American Boys".

But they should have stood in front of the famous painting by van Gogh, The Starry Night. I saw Don McClean about 6 years ago (and once early in his career) at City Winery (NYC). He was outstanding. People sang along to songs, including the very long (Bye Bye Miss) American Pie. I can’t believe I still remembered every word!

❤❤

🥇🥇NR one, such heartbreaking song 😭😭😭😭

He sounds good 4 78yrs old

Your song at the end is very well done!

Don McLean doesn't write lyrics - he puts poetry to music. Hauntingly sad & beautiful. Home Free's harmonies are incomparable and they're the perfect collaborators. They always spotlight other artists and stray true to the concept of the composition. BTW, I so want a copy of the picture in which they're literally absorbed.

This is their third song with Don.

@@sarahc2401 It’s the title track on Don’s March 2024 album.

Have ti do the Freddie Star 'Vincent Routine' comedy gold.

Harmonies rival Auld Lang Syne! No over production just respectful honor, such detail in singing and visual detail!!

And you didn't even mention the beautiful Martin D45 that Don was playing!

I want a print with them in the painting.

:)

Don McCleans voice is still spot on. Many times as you age it lossEs some quality and volume but he certainly has not.

Please, please, please tell me why people insist on lip syncing to songs that they think they know? I see it all the time and it drives me crazy. I love the channel and 99% of the reactions, but something about watching people try to lip sync is really uncomfortable. Am I alone in this? I understand the appeal of singing along to a song you know in your car or in the shower, but just mouthing the words on a reaction video is just weird.
